Gikomba market is a whole enterprise accumulation of all types of businesses from second hand clothing, fabrics, tools, utensils, furniture among many things. But what brought me this day was to buy fresh water fish from Kisumu city. On entering the fish vending section of the market ,one thing that hits you is the smell of the market's fish that is quite pungent for somebody that is not used to it.But being a fan of the delicacy I walk amid the majority of Kenyans coming to buy and sell their wares. It's majority people are from the lake side, having shipped the variety of fish from Kisumu the lake side town in the western side of the country.Being a frequent buyer at the market, I always get fresh and tasty fish at a good price from my trusted vendor, not to mention the variety of fish on sale from the famous tilapia to the big ugly looking catfish that taste good by the way. There is a lane of vendors who fry on the doorstep to what are hotels where ready cooked meals of the fish delicacies are served.The place, to a visitor appears like Kisumu town, due to the activities and people.One thing is for sure, the fish they have got is the best and I would recommend a visit to the place and one should be able to stomach the smell and people.

This is a one-stop market for all your wardrobe needs, ranging from dresses, suits, shirts, pants to bedding. As if that is not enough, you can get ex-Uk sports gear, kitchen wares, and toys, among others. Opened daily, morning till late, with Monday to Saturday being the recommended shopping days. Wait, did I mention you can get food and all your groceries here!!? Of course you can, fish, chicken, banana and vegetables just to mention but a few. On rainy days, grab your gumboots because you might not like it!! Happy shopping, and remember to get some of the apparel from us @AllantehsWear ❤️

One of the biggest second-hand semi open air markets in Kenya,located on the Eastern side of town. You will get all kinds of things from this market; shoes, clothes fish, fruits, name it. When you visit, mind your head because even so often, a Porter carrying a large sack might hit your brains off. Patience is the key to shopping at this market. It's one of my personal favourites to shop and to shoot.

All under one open market for second materials. shopping is open and prices are determined through negotiation between buyer and the seller. You can find household equipment, clothes, kitchen ware, food and beverage and drink. Shopping In this place is very hectic due to large number of people and aggressive sellers

This is the place you get to shop every from baby wear to adult wear. You can get groceries at affordable prices, I mean throw away prices. The hardware here are very many and you can source everything here from timber, paint, steel, aluminum and many other items. I recommend this place.
